An infant of Mr. and Mrs. Z S. Mullin died yesterday morning. The health of the city continues excellent, and the doctors have lots of leisure time. Mr. Henry Arnold, of Thoniasville, and Miss Mamie Nihlo, of this city, were married at Wayeross yesterday. The public schools of Brunswick will open on Monday, October 1st.— A notice from tlio Superintendent, of interest to scholars, will be found elsewhere in this issue. ffm. H. Whale) 1 , E»<p, with Mrs. Whaley, has moved from . Jesup, and is now occupying his Dixville cottage recently purchased from Mr. J. M. Dexter. He states he thinks Bruns wick more healthy at present than Jesup. We welcome Mr. Whaley to our city, and trust that be and Mrs W. will never regret the change. Mr. J. P. Hughes will move into his new tabby store on “A” street, near'McClure’s planing mill,, next week, and will consolidate his mer cantile interest-there. He now has two stores, both will be consolidated at the new stand. He has put a very nice stgre at the new stand which will be a credit to that part of town. Mr. G. W. White, representative here for Messrs. Conquest <fc Sons, is kept quite busy loading cross-ties for Northern markets. He has two vessels on his hands to day. Messrs. Glover & Fahm, the contractors, arc equally busy keeping up with the supply, and the ties they furnish urd extra fine—the best we ever saw shipped. Mr. Peter Krauss, our well known baker, came to this country 48 years ago, and just 20 years ago to-day he commenced milking bread in Bruns wick, and as he says, been feeding tlie people of Georgia ever since. In all these years the standard of his brend has never been lowered, and he still makes none but the very best. Home Sick lind. Few people can realize fully that home sick feeling that comes over a boy when he leaves home for the first time and goes away to school— that feeling of utter loneliness and despair that seizes him when lie re alizes that there is no ono around him that has any feeling in common with his. Here is the way a Bruns wick boy writes to his mother: Mv Df.au Mama: I would give my three lingers just to see your face. I have been crying all day. I will try to stay here until Christmas. Oh, how I want to sec yours and papa’s face. If I ever get home 1 will never never come away again. Kiss and for me, and tell them I will write soon Your home sick Sox. Business Booming. From Mr. Bascom Myrick, of the Brunswick Stowage and Export Co., we glean some interesting facts about the operations of his Company at an early day. To begin with, this is the Compa ny that is putting up the big com press that will so facilitate the strip- meat of cotton by compressing eabh bale to one half the present size. .The difference between cotton compressed this way and the old way, is not that the bale'is made any smaller at the start, but is simply held where the aimpress mashes it. By the old way the hales expand double'the size the compress leaves them. The new pro cess simply holds it there by means of galvanized rivets, so to speak. Mr. Myrick informs us that there arc received daily by the company here inquiries about the time of be ginning work. Cotton, steamship, railroad and compress men will be here from all over the country to wit ness its workings. If this does all that is claimed it will revolutionize the whole cotton shipping business of the country, hence the great in terest manifested. This Company will put on steamers to a number of foreign ports, Liverpool, London, Havre, Barcelona and others, and thus a new impetus will be given to cotton shipments from this port nev-' er before known. Changes iu the Board of Health. At the beginning of the recent fe ver troubles in Florida the Board of Health requested the City Council to act with them as a joint Board and such has been their action heretofore. The question of legality having been sprung, the Council at its meeting on Tuesday withdrew from the joint Board and left the Board of Health proper to conduct its own af fairs. This action was thought nec essary in view of certain monetary interests that might become involv ed. All former actions of the Joint Board have been approved by Coun cil proper hence there can be no ques tion as to the legulity. Dr. Schlat ter having resigned and Col. Bost- wick having suggested that it might be illegal foy him tositonsaid Board, being a member of Council, .Messrs. Nick Dixon and Burr Winton were elected in their place. The Board now stands: N. Dixon, Burr Winton, II. S. Mc.- Crary, J. II. Clark, E. A. Nelson, R. R. Hopkins, M. Micbelson. A Hood Man Hone.

The State of Texas that put into Key West for repairs, Las not ' ” ", permission toxome to Bruni ito / h A True Saying. The old adage that “an idle brain is the Devil’s workshop,” Charley Clark, the lim ber, thinks has been verified in his ease. A week ago lie laid by bis razor and scissors and thought lie would take two weeks off and have a good time. First he vent fishing, caught a cat (isli and stuck his fin in ids foot. Next lie went to chopping careless ly with a hatchet and stuck it in hie knee. He next monkeyed with a saw and sawed his linger open. In his despair lie seized his gua and put oil' for a hunt, and the first shot he made the gun kicked his fin ger nil askew. His wife now advises him to go to work and not take the other weclj otT. Thirty Years Ago. Mr. II. B. Treadwell informs us that there were on the floor of the Graud Lodge of Odd Fellows recent ly in Gainesville five members in cluding himself, who were elected graud officers just thirty years be fore to a day, August 17,1858. They were: Messrs. Jno. G. Deitz, George R. Barker, E. C. Granniss, M. R. Rogers and II. B. Treadwell. New Enterprise. Notwithstanding tlj and till - fever sp continue to s| latest ia| njrtihl I tfitfs i l, times EAST TENNESSEE BOCKS. New Wharf, New Warehouse and Cotton Compress. Those of our readers who have never visited the “New Docks” of the E. T., V. & G. R. R. can form but a poor idea of whut they are, and of the amount of business that is done thereoh. We visited the docks Saturday af ternoon, to’see for ourselves and tell our readers what was going on there. We found two vessels at the wharf loading with uavnl stores, and the yard and wharf filled with lumber, loaded cars, and naval stores, the warehouses filled with spirits of tur pentine, and one filled with salt, a large force of hands and seven pile drivers at work on the new wharf, and in fact, a very busy scene. Some faint idea of the amount of business done over these wharves can bo obtained from the amount of goods now at the dock. Capt. Hall, who is in charge of the docks, informs us that he has now in one warehouse about 25,000 sacks of salt to he for warded to points all over the State, and in the warehouses and on the yard about 1.000 barrels of spirits of turpentine, and about 10,000 barrels of rosin, awaiting shipment, and now being loaded, and this is the dullest season of the year. •rnu SEW WHARF Now being constructed will be 700 feet long, and fifty feet wide, extend ing south from the six hundred feet of wharf already built. To the east of this new wharf, will be located the new warehouse, for storing cotton, three hundred feet long, and one hundred feet wide. South of this will be located THE COMPRESS, Most of the material for which is now in the yard, loaded on cars. One piece of the machinery, the one which descends upon and presses the cot ton, is a carload iu itself, weighing twenty’ fojr tons. Of course to sup port such innchincay as tins, it will require a very solid foundation, and this is the way it will lie made: Heavy piling have been driven down in the mud close together, over a space large enough to support the press, around this is driven a solid wall of piling. Inside this wall the mild is now being taken out, to the depth of leu feet. The piling will be sawed oil'ten feet below the surface, at the bottom of this hole, they will tbes be “capped” with heavy tim bers, and upon this capping a floor will lie laid of six inch timbers, which will then lie caulked, making a water tight floor, upon which will be built up a solid foundation of brick, water tight, and upon this the press will be erected. By this means the wood work will all be in the mud, which will preserve it from the rav ages of the salt water insects, and consequently it will last many years. Now, what does this mean? It means that slowly, but surely, and one by one Brunswick is getting the things that are necessary to make her a large city, and the great ship ping port for the South, Southwest, and West, the position to which she is entitled by virtue of her unequal- ed natural advantages for being such a port. Even now we look into the future and seethe time when from these new docks to Plantation creek will be a solid line of wharves and docks, and a continuous row of ves sels loading with all the products of our vast country for the ports of the world, when the streets of “Day- town,” now merely openings cut through the forest, shall resound with the noise and bustle of travel and traffic, and when Brunswick shall have reached the position above referred to. From the new 1 in the ex Fetches the ill ing oaks, with a background of wav ing pines; to the west lie Colonel’s Island, Naval City (that is to be) and Fancy Bluff, to the South lie the two branches of Oglethorpe Bay, grand sheets of water, enough to float the commerce of the world, while to the southeast is seen beautiful Bruns wick, which, with her Oglethorpe Hotel and other large buildings, the water towers and the shipping at the docksall clearly outlined against the back ground of dark green trees, makes a picture beautiful in itself. We cannot close this article with out a tribute to CAPT. G. J. HALL. This worthy gentleman came into our midst about eleven years ago, and soon secured a position with the E. T. V. & G. R. R. (it was the M. <fc B. then,) as watchman. Throughout all its various changes, he has re mained with the company, a faithful servant, and by his constant atten tion to duty, has gradually’ worked himself up, until he reached his pres ent position in charge ot the busi ness of these new docks, where he has continually under his charge thousand of dollars worth of proper ty. But the Company will soon lose his valuable services. . Captain Hall has recently had the good fortune to come into possession of a large amount of property in Eng land, aud he will leave here about the first of October for England, where lie will hereafter make his home, and has tendered his resigna tion to the Company, taking effect on the first of October. The Captain says the Company lias been very kind to him, and lie intends to stay with them up to the la3t day. B. & W. Dots. During a visit to the company’s shops this morning, we gathered a few dots of interest. The new pusher, one of the most approved and powerful engines made, has arrived and is being put in trim for work. It has six driving wheels and can pull one hundred cars at a time, being built for power and not speed. It has two headlights, and travels backward as well as forward. This makes the seventh new engine received. The eighth got in a smash up coining down, and had to go back for repairs. Eight more engines are ordered to he delivered in December. When all are received and added to the present equipment, there will lie some twenty-five in all, aiM when the re quisite number of ears now ordered are received, the Brunswick & Wes tern will be in condition lo haul alt the freights that can possibly be of fered. New passenger cars too, have been ordered, and ere long be who rides on the on the B. & W. will recognize the fact that the great Plant System has Brunswick and Albany on its list. Another construction train went out on the road Monday morning under the direction of Mr. Fred Wig gins. So now there are three of these trains at work. Let the good work continue. The hoys are looking forward to the time when the general office will be removed back to t lie city, which will be as soon as the office is repair ed and put in order for their recep tion. The Satilla Bice Crop. Capt. Clubb, of the steamer Crack er Boy, informs us that there is quite a freshet now in the.Satilla. The weather, he fears, will continue as now until the full moon, and if the moon he in perigee at that juncture he is afraid the rice crop of the Sa tilla river will be lost. Mr. J. K. Be dell has saved nearly all of his, but others are not so fortunate.. We rec ognize the fact that the Captain is a nowned weather prophet and a |lose observer, but ive bo[ie his fears ay prove groundless. OUR SCHOOLS. Time of Opening—Names of the Teachers, Etc. Our Public Schools will re-open on October the first, under the guidance of Superintendent Branham. Ac comodations have been made for about four hundred in the white schools..

The Hall will be full, for .Judge Symmes can draw a crowd on any subject. The people love to bear him talk. Mr. W. L. Fulton is still rustica ting around the mountains. His friends, however, are at work in his political interest. Col. Jas. Po8tell, the St. Simons Simons candidate, haviug given his name to his friends, sit* quietly at home, willing to abide the decision of the primary. She had her ’Stiflcate. Our readers will remember the col ored man who had been to Jackson ville and undertook to come buck to Brunswick by way of the Satilla. He told a very pretty story about Ins baving gone up the Satilla to visit his mother-in-law. A letter, however, written by his wife had gotten here ahead of him and gave him away. He is now working out his sentence of twenty-five days. His wife fearing a similar fate served out her time over in Camden, and on Tuesday last reached the city by the Cracker Boy. When she got aboard the steamer she told the other passengers of .her husband’s fate, but said, “Dey won’t ’rest me knsc I dun serve out my currcnteeu, fifteen days, ami I got a ’stifUeate in my pocket, slio.” Accidentally Shot. A colored man on St. Simons acci dentally shot another negro man on last Tuesday afternoon. He was in the act of firing at a beef, when he missed his aim, ami put the load into the abdomen of a negro helper. The wounded mau died on Thursday
